Extreme drought disrupts the bottom-up regulation of ground-dwelling invertebrate diversity under climate warming
Extreme climate events are becoming more frequent, yet their consequences for the recovery of plant-invertebrate relationships under warming remain poorly understood. We investigated over two years of how ground-dwelling invertebrate communities recovered from a 40-days drought in outdoor grassland mesocosms exposed to ambient conditions, constant warming or periodic heatwaves, and both combined.…
